Today’s Challenge: Using only provided materials (two pieces of construction paper, 1 pair of scissors, 1 ruler and one 12-inch strip of masking tape) create the longest paper chain possible.

 

Teamwork Rubric Focus:

 

My goal for teamwork today is to not get mad or yell at anyone.

 

My Individual Plan 

My plan is to just make a normal paper chain with the paper that we have. Instead of staples we’ll just use the tape and make a paper chain.

Why I think my plan will be successful: Because it’s not that hard to make a paper chain.

 

My Groups Plan 

To make a regular paper chain but cut the strips really thin.

We chose this plan because…

it just seemed the most reasonable out of the plans.

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…

The strips may become too thin and break.

Each group member will be responsible for…

I’m going to cut. One of my group-mates is rolling the paper into circles. The other one is taping.

After the Build

Our design worked well because…

It was 806 in.

This activity was challenging because…

A lot of people said what we did was not a real paper chain.

This activity was comfortable because….

I had a lot of fun doing it and it was really easy.

I met my teamwork goal by…

not getting mad at anyone.

A strength of my team was….

being able to make an 806 in. paper chain.

An area of growth for my team is…

Using our tape more effectively.

For our next challenge, my new teamwork goal for myself is…

To help our group as much as I can.
